TGIAC Chocolate Christmas Balls

Seeing as how TGIAC was in the Christmas spirit we decided to emulate an SNL classic and bring out our very own Christmas Balls! They’re not quite as good as those Schweddy Balls, but boy do they give them a run for their money! Anywho enjoy these delicious sweet and salty treats and be sure to share… or don’t… scrooge!
